Business Letter Prompt #3 – A Request for Coupons
(Block-Style Format)

Think of a product that you or your family buys a lot of. It should be something that you would ordinarily be able to use coupons for, such as a food item.

In the first paragraph, briefly state why you are writing. In the second paragraph, explain how much your family purchases and enjoys the product. In the third paragraph, state how much you would appreciate receiving some coupons in the mail, and thank him.

Although you are writing about a real product, since we don’t know the name and address of the person to whom we would write, use the following for the purposes of this paper:

Dr. Turki Turki
General Manager
(Company name)
3000 Broadway Ave.
Chula Vista, CA 91910
